The only person I have ever known to use this word is Andy Capp. It is Northern slang for a woman and I believe it is Arabic for woman.

So now you know. Its a derogatory term for a girl/woman. Its more commonly used in Central Scotland. We think of women differently to most. Some of us even marry them!

central Scotland way of referring to a woman
not complimentary, but there's nothing specifically horrible about it
"that stupid bint said..." etc. Doesn't imply sexual preferences, diseases, class, religion, whatever; just "some woman who happens to be irritating me right now".

Word used to describe a girl or woman.Much the same as bird or broad. Believed to derive from Arabic.
